From the reviews
Ouuuuwwww!!! I went here almost 30 yrs ago when it was first established in The Fine Arts Building. I still watch my posture and the way I walk today due to my years of ballet twice per week. It's so good to see Madam Boitsov still in business. She knows her stuff and definitely doesn't play about Ballet!!!
My daughter enjoyed every minute of ballet during her time here. This is definitely a gem of a program in the Southwest side and am thankful to everyone who poured into my daughter’s ballet experience.
Madame Boitsov is fantastic. She brings many years of teaching experience at all levels. She is both form and tough, yet warm and loving at the same time. She had found a way to really teach proper ballet technique, yet make the class something my daughters already look forward to.
Wonderful gem! Madam Boitsov is wonderful with the kids! My daughter had grown so much and I love the fact that they play live music to teach appreciation for music as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting their kids in ballet, to learn a true art form
Your first ballet class at Boitsov Classical Ballet
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
